Whay are they changing the established way of doing things? AFAICT, the ip command is a Linuxism. Not everything is better just because it is new. It's not exactly new, ip has been around since kernel 2.2. (ten years? Early 1999 IIRC) ip together with tc (Traffic Control) comprise iproute2 and expose a vast array of networking options within the kernel, including basic networking setup but also various advanced routing scenarios like tunnels, multiroute setups, route failovers, bandwidth management, etc. Basically use iptables/ip6tables/arptables/ebtables for firewall, tc for bandwidth management, ip for everything else networking. If you're interested in what it offers beyond basic network controls take a look at lartc.org - Linux Advanced Routing Traffic Control. They have the manpages and primary documentation as well as extensive tutorials and howtos, cookbook for things like a gateway router load-balancing multiple uplinks (IE dual T1), 'wondershaper' bandwidth management script, etc. As far as the basics, ip route add default via 10.11.12.254 dev eth0 metric 20, ip link set eth0 down (==ifconfig eth0 down), ip address add 192.168.0.202/30 dev usb0 are some examples of common tasks. Almost all keywords can be abbreviated, leading to ip l s eth0 up and ip a a 192.168.0.202/30 dev usb0 for example, and other portions can be omitted sometimes, like ip r a default via 10.11.12.254 which will determine the interface needed for the given gateway and use default metric. (more advanced, ip tunnel add netb mode gre remote 172.19.20.21 local 172.16.17.18 ttl 2 would try to create a GRE tunnel to 172.19.20.21 named netb) When you use ip a a 192.168.0.202/30 dev usb0 to set that IP and subnet on device usb0 it also implicitly performs ip route add 192.168.0.202/30 dev usb0 src 192.168.0.202 table 254 (254=main) On the informative rather than configuration side of things, ip a shows all interfaces with their statuses and their addresses/subnets (ipv4, ipv6 and MAC), ip r shows main routing table (short for ip route show table main, ip r s t local shows the local routing table, etc - uses numbers for tables, or names if they're defined in /etc/iproute2/rt_tables), ip n shows neighbor table with IP, MAC, interface and status, ip ru shows routing rules (ip rules show), which specify which routing table to use for various conditions. j PS - be aware that the ip functions in busybox are a small subset of the full command's capabilities - everything is still there in the kernel, but busybox doesn't expose much of it. -- Joel Newkirk http://jthinks.com (blog) http://newkirk.us/om (FR stuff) ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Today there were some updates to Xubuntu (a new kernel among others). After a reboot the Network Manager method now works. It have the following drawbacks: 1) When I plug in my FreeRunner (or 1973) Network Manager rewrites /etc/resolv.conf, removing all lines. This (as others have already pointed out) effectively disables dns on my laptop. Not good, not acceptable. 2) If I plug in first the FreRunner, then the 1973 both usb0 and usb1 gets the ip address 192.168.0.200. Not good, but this can probably be fixed. Issue number 1 is a showstopper for the Network Manager method, unless Network Manager can be told to only add ip adresses for usb[0-9] intefaces and leave the routing alone. For now, I'm back to the manual method. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

You may have to change /etc/resolv.conf on the NEO manually. When you re-insert the NEO, just issue sudo ifdown usb0 ifup usb0 I still don't know why the Freerunner gets a IPv6 address, but the above works: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifdown usb0 RTNETLINK answers: No such process [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifup usb0 * Stopping NTP server ntpd [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$...done. * Starting NTP server ntpd ...done.

Re: us network and Uuntu 8.10 - is there a better way?

Is there a better way? It's possible to use NetworkManager to connect to your Neo1973 or Freerunner. I've created the files /etc/udev/rules.d/80-freeruner.rules and /usr/local/sbin/freerunner-usb-add.sh as described in the wiki. The phone now connects automatically whenever I plug it in. I still have to run /etc/network/freerunner manually once per session in order to set up masquerading and DNS forwarding, but that's still much better than having to run ifdown usb0; ifup usb0 every time the phone is plugged in. Hope this helps. ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
